A WORD TO REPUBLICANS.
The hope of the party lies in the
expansion of a stalwart Republican
press. The Republican who reads or
otherwise helps to support a Demo
cratic journal to the exclusion of one
of his own party newspapers is untrue
to the Republican cause.
Unanimously subscribed to by the
Natlonnl Republican League.

New York, Nov. 10, 1891.
No Herald to-morrow.
Remember the poor to-morrow.
Merry Christmas to nil our readers.
Many happy reunions tc morrow.
The "grip" will put a veto on the
festivities in many families to-morrow,
The days will now grow in length.
The shortest day, the 21st ult., is
passed.
From present appearances there
will be no white ChrlBtinM. If the
old "saw" prevails, there will be a fat
graveyard.
Younq man, observe to-morrow as it
should be observed. Don't get drunk
And disgrace not only yourself but
your family and friends.
Diphtheria prevails to a great ex
tent throughout the whole county,
and one cannot be too careful in visit
ing families where the disease Is.
It looks as If the wings of tho
white angel of peace wouldn't flop
over the Democratic majority in Con
gress this winter. There are indica-

Next year no portion of the liquor
licenses, which amounts to 52,000,000,
will go to the state. Tlio entire
amount, under the amendment of the
last Legislature, will be distributed
among the cities, boroughs and town
ships. It would be the proper thing
to use the portion coming to this bor

tho Pooplo Aro Down
"Wlth It.
The sick" list grows longor with each day
nd hundreds of our town peopl arc
sulToring moro or loss from that dreaded
disoaso known as tho grip. A Herald
reporter visited sovoral of tho physicians ol
town yostorday with a viow to ascertaining
to what extent tho disoaso has Bpread.
Most of tho physicians visitod wero found
to havo quito a list of casos and nn cstimato
that ton por cont. of tho people are victims
was considered by them as fair. Two of
tho physicians thought tho estimato would
go a little hlghor, but all agreed that tho
disoaso is not as bad and tho numbor of
pooplo afllicted aro not as numerous as
thrco years ago. Ono physician visitod
thirty-throo patients yesterday. Uo said
that in somo of tho casos tho grip Boomed to
bo developing into pneumonia. Anothor
physician said that tho recklessness oi
somo peoplo was aggravating thoir com
plaints. Ho condomnod taking swoats bo-
cuuso people aro too liable to go out into
tho cold Immediately a ft or and oxposo
themsolvos to pneumonia. Tho samo
physician condemned tho uso of qulnino,
whilo another rocomnionded quinine and
whiskey In tho strongest terms. In this
connection a recent intorvlow with an
ominont I'tmadolpma specialist may
make interesting roading. Dr. Carl Seller
said : "I have found that specifics for its
euro aro ten grains of benzoato of soda
every hour in acuto casos, a tablespoonful
of some heart tonic and absolute rest,
Neither of tho two will act, all must bo
used togothor.
"It may closely resomblo typhoid fever,
pneumonia, diphtheria, dyspopsU, spinal
monlngltis, Inflammation of tho brain,
measles and various skin diseases. None of
tbo symptoms yield to the ordinary treat
ment for tho afflictions named, but disap
pear with tho ueo of my specific. Tho
memory is affected. The slightest effort,
mental or physical, produces prosplratlon
Tho mucous mombrano throughout tho
body is relaxed. In many cases there is
inflammation of tho optic norvo, causing
particularly a narrowness in tho fiold of
vision. Dr. T. II. Fenton, who has made
a study of that fcaturo, says it is duo to im
perfect circulation at the baso of tho brain.
Ho has found small doses of hyoscyamine,
say ono two-hundredth ot a grain, a
remedy.
"There is a peculiar inertia, and sul-
ferors coraplainihat they do not fool awako
until nearly timo to go to retire Pneu
monia, so frequently said to bo the cause of
do&th, Is not roal inflammation oi tho
lungs, but a choking of tho air tubes, duo
to tho swolling of tho mucous membrane,
Tho diseaso Is not self-limited that is, doos
not get well if let alono or erroneously
treatod. It closely rosemblos what is com
monly called malaria. In its chronic form
havo known It to produco Insanity, par
alysls and dealh from heart failuro. Such
drugs as antlpyrino, antifobrino, phonaco
tlno and othor derivatives of coal tar, and
particularly quinino, should bo avoided, as
they effect tho heart, decrease tho comfort
of tho sufferor and prolong tho duration ol
tho attack.
It Should bo in Every House.
J. II. Wilson, 371 Clay St., Sharpsburg,

Now Discoyory for Consumption, Cough3
and Colds, that it cured his wife who was
threatened with Pneumonia after an at
tack of "La Grippe," when various other
romedies und Bovoral physicians had dono
